\(y = \sin (x - a)^\circ\) where \(a\) is called the phase angle. This is when the graph of the function has been shifted to the left or right by \(a\) degrees. If you have: \(\sin {(x - a)^ \circ ...

cos(θ) is the x-coordinate of the point P and, sin(θ) is the y-coordinate of the point P. This applet shows how the graphs of sin(θ) and cos(θ) follow directly from the definition of these functions.
